Getting back to the grind

Its been much to long since I was able to break out the sewing machine and get crafty. So after the wedding, honeymoon and holidays passed I was really itching to get back into blogging and some diy projects I had planned. 

So as one of my new years resolutions I wanted to blow off the dust and start making my magic.  Haha or something like that. 

A few things that I have started are:

1. A journal for all of the projects I want to try/do.

2. Got more support from the hubby towards what I want to get accomplished. 

3. Am using pinterest as a main staple for my projects.  This allows me to venture into un-charted territories and give feedback on awesome things we see on there. 

4. (This goes along with the last one, but I think warrents it's own bullet) Trying to expand my talents. For example trying things I never actually thought of doing; upholstering, painting of furniture..etc.

5. More eager to start and continue something important to me. 

6. Ending on an even number!

Spring has sprung and so have the DIY ideas!

So since my allergies have settled down a little I can start focusing again on the things I want to get done. I have a few great simple DIY projects lined up and a few summer recipes I will be trying out. I found my camera and have lots of time to write my posts.

I recently moved, last weekend actually, and have a ton of ideas for making the place feel like home.

In the front yard under the main window is a great little shelf, so I am thinking FLOWERS!! There is also a small triangular shape and separate little pathway along the walk away so I would like to fill that in and plant some great things there. I have never really had a green thumb, but I'll be damned if that is gonna stop me.

So please keep checking for little DIY projects and tutorials, along with pictures on the progress of turning house into home.

Spring Approaches

So in the excitement of the approaching season, Spring, I decided I wanted to try something new and fresh with my hair. So I added highlights all over and in result lightened up my hair a TON!!

Tomorrow's To-Do list

1. Thundershirt for Panda
2. Circular dog bed for large metal bucket
3. PVC pipe suspended dog bed
4. V-day Card

Wedding bells are a chimin'

A joke about throwing a wedding together in 3 months, turned into a for sure wedding date. Crazy isn't it?

For those of you who haven't heard the story already, Davy and I have been planning to get married for the last year and a half. Our last date was Nov. 6, 2010. And the time before that was April 24, 2010. Yet, each of those dates just steamed on by with no wedding.

Then about 1 week ago, while at my inlaws, they joked about us getting married this year and in the spring. Well, as you can see, plans are now in the making.

Hall reserved for reception.
Wedding location pick-out.
Minister already booked.

But, there is stull so much to do. I started another blog, so others can visit the site and find out details on the wedding and check out details.

I'm very excited!! It will also give me a TON of new material for this blog. Mostly DIY for wedding things, but DIY projects none the less.

Wish me luck everyone! It's going to be awesome.

New Directions and Clear Outlines

If you are a regular viewer of my blog you will notice a few things are changing. I'm starting to figure out the direction I want to go with this blog and how I feel I will get the most out of it.

So for a few months now my future mother-in-law and I have been planning to start our own line of products, Dertie Panties; personalized dog beds, dog clothes, jewlery and baby onsies.

Most of our items will be made from other items we had laying around.

More about the project to come once we work out how things are going to be done.

Stay tuned for more info and please check back often to support us on this amazing adventure.

Current ideas and projects

Right now I have a few ideas floating around in my head, but first I need one important key to starting any of them. Sewing machine. So, I'm shopping around to try to find something cost effective and in great condition. Craigslist is my main shopping sight, but I might try to sift out a few thrift stores. Keep posted for things to start coming together!

Direction of this blog

I'm not entirely sure what direction I want this blog to take. But I do know, that if it is anything like its creator, it will be fun and a WHOLE LOT of random. I guess the title of the blog suites amazingly. Over the next few days, I'll be dealing more with blog designs and fiddling with ideas, than actual posts, but please check back as often as you would like! Goodnight my lovelies, Tomorrow brings new things and new ideas.
